Disk grits you use This is my first time using same tool previously using by hand By using this tool with 120 grits disk there are kind of round round mudding prints remains on first time coating Could you help me whats the solution?
I want you to know that I’m currently in a Building Trades program and we are at the muddying and taping stage of our house build. Your videos have been so helpful to me and I get complements from my instructors about my application quality. Thank you for making these videos!
I love this channel and even though I've done some home improvement stuff with my parents rentals for years. He's showed me some cool tricks. My boss loved the California patch I fixed at work :)
Do yourself a huge favor and learn what's in the dust and what happens if it gets in your lungs. I don't think your teacher knows if he does know he won't say because then he wouldn't have any students.
When I was in the business of Contracting, I used to have an electric Bosch Disc Sander such as what you were talking about. That hooked up to the vacuum cleaner and it was a breeze, took all my troubles away and it makes a whole house drywall job a breeze. In fact you end up looking for more work, because it's that nice.
I would do the same: Hooked up my shop vac to the disc sander. A couple extra things I would do is remove the filter in the vac, fill it with a couple inches of water and also put a wet towel over the back end of the shop vac. Always impressed others who saw how well it worked : )
I bought a Bauer drywall sander from Harbor Freight for 150 bucks. Just an option for those who don't want to spend a lot of cash on a Dewalt. Really enjoy the channel, helped me out many times on my reno projects. Big Thanks to you.
Just pick up a Bauer 9 inch drywall sander with telescoping pole and LED light ring and dust collection. Folds in half comes with pads and carrying bag $ 99.00 on sale. Thanks for all info you give.
I am SO glad I found your videos< I have been watching many channels yours is making the most sense and easy to understand, my husband past away May 13th 2023 I have a lot of repairs to do and now I feel confident I can do it. Thank you
we bought the Maxxt "Amazon Choice" as it was $269.99 CAN, NOW the motor is on the head so it makes i very heavy. My dream is to get a Festool but $1600 was not about to happen. Got a Compact size shop vac and the bags for drywall and the filter and we were almost 95-98% dust free. Worth every penny! We have used it so many times and just not having all that drywall dust to deal with was awesome. I have never seen the sweeping compound but adding to our list. I bought an orbital sander that I use so much, especially for inbetween paint coats for sanding to get a smooth finish. YOu have awesome tips and tricks.
That clouding look with manual sander is the air around you lol. Love dustless sanders. Even use random orbital sander for wood working with a hepa vac.
My Man. You are amazing. I can't believe how much you know about all phases of building. Anything I ever need to know about it, I will search your videos. You don't cut corners or cheat. You do things properly first time. That's the way I do it . Do it right the first time and you won't have to do it twice. Thanks
Seriously, you have great tips, but the vacuum drywall sander is my favorite. I went out and bought one and you are right, sanding is no longer a pain. Great tip!
I bought one of these just over a year ago (mainly to strip a pop corn ceiling which it did amazingly) but this winter I finally got to use it to sand new drywall and wish I had bought it years ago! As you said in the video turn the speed all the way down to start it will pull you around the room if you arent careful. The shopvac hook up is a must as well I lent it to my brother in law and forgot to mention that part and he ended up absolutely covered 😂 Another great trick with it is if you are mudding and drip mud on the subfloor just you can go around with the sander on the floor with some 80 grit and get the dried mud off that way rather than trying to scrape it all off on your hands and knees before installing your final floors
Those are also great with the coarse discs for removing peeling paint on old plaster. My 1800s house had quite a few rooms that I hand scraped down to base plaster. I bought a Porter Cable drywall sander and hepa vac at an estate sale and that eliminated the hand scraping.
Great video! Telescopic pole for the win, I used my paint poles with a sander adapter. I liked fine mesh tape versus traditional paper as it doesn't clog up. I have bad shoulders from overhead work so the pole works great. I don't trust myself with an orbital but I like the dust extraction idea. Maybe I'll strap my hand orbital and hose to the pole next time! I'd recommend a real dust mask or at least a t-shirt or bandana while you sand too, especially if the room is closed off.
I usually skip construction diy videos from different countries for whatever reason i subconsciously feel it can’t apply to me lol but the quality and attention u give to ur work and even when a mistake is made u just go back and make it perfect, just wanted to say I thoroughly enjoy ur videos
Dude your videos are the best I renovated my entire condo watching your UA-cam videos drywalls,bathrooms, tubs, tiling the floors etc. your the best bro keep up the good work. Im gonna build a house next 😂
The problem with most electric drywall sanders is, they're too heavy and like you said, you have to hold the handle somewhat parallel to the ceiling, which is hard on your body. There are however better options available. Both Mirka and Hilti make lighter weight electric sanders that have sanding heads that rotate 180⁰. Plus they are orbital sanders, so no swhirl marks.
Bought a much cheaper version of this by Wen for a nursery remodel that required skim coating the entirety of the walls. The powered sander with the vac was invaluable. The amount of dust that kept out of the room was a game changer
Would you recommend the vacuum sander for already painted walls? background: really low quality, super flat contractor grade paint. They sprayed it on and did no post spray sanding. Every touch up that I've tried with the exact paint they used sticks out lik a sore thumb, and the paint isn't washable at all so any mark has to be retouched. I will need to repaint with decent paint, but I think I need to get this stuff sanded a bit or I'm doomed to failure. I'd love it if you told me I was wrong and could just go right over it and have good results, LOL, but would prefer the truth.
i like the festool planex and the festool ct 48 auto clean and i dont look like a snowman when i done and im not getting a sinus infection and I can breathe
I love your videos 👍 Even though I’ve been doing it DIY for most of my life, I still manage to take away something new from your videos. I’m currently looking for one on boxed stairways and I’m looking for ways to finish/terminate them at the top. I don’t see anything in your list; maybe an idea for future video?
I use to have the whole machine made by Porter Cable. Was doing alot of commercial offices, ie., City Hall. This tool u can't go wrong But, for a Home Owner that would only use 1 time, not worth the investment. The 1 I had was not Cordless/Battery, plus with the filter system would get down to the Micro of Dust.
@@omaxman1 yes. It’s the original 1996 popcorn ceiling. I guess it is what was “in” at the time. 🤦♀️ I want to remove it, and I thought a tool like this might make it easier.
@@oteror ive done few of these popcorn removals. Id suggest if its painted with flat paint try spraying some water on it and scrapping off with putty knife. Usually it come off really easy. I even did it without water and then skim coated it
I want to know where you found the small bag of sweeping compound. Everywhere around here only had 50 pound bags. So, I now basically have a lifetime supply after using it in the one room I needed it for.
Funny story. My first drywall job was a room that size and I did such a shitty bumpy ridging taping job. I bailed and gave the money back and the lady still wants to kill me😂
Hi Jeff, I was hoping you'd answer a question I have! I also live in Canada and have purchased a very old home. I know you are in the same position, and I was wondering what sort of things you have done to mitigate the bugs? We have tons of maple bugs (or boxelder bugs) and also a winged bug with black and white dots that I have yet to identify. I was just wondering if you had any tips or tricks after years of living in an old home in Canada? Thanks so much for your time
Yes i do. remove the facade and install a house wrap and seal it with tape. Then install a new vinyl siding. open the walls from the inside and remove the insulation and vacuum out all the cavities and you will remove all the larva. that is the only thing that works, oh and seal with caulking every joint trim and gap under the walls. Cheers!
Thanks for all the awesome videos. You mentioned where you can sell the tool. What is the name of the website or pp that you mentioned? I heard cagege or something like that.
Thanks for this! I'd love to know what to do about drywall that has been over-sanded. I have some areas that are fuzzy that the painter said was a result of over-sanding. I'm not sure what to do about it though.

@@HomeRenoVisionDIY WAIT! Before the homeowner touches the texture, he MUST check it for asbestos. Ask me how I know. Many houses with that horrendous ceiling texture were built in the 70s or before, and asbestos in the joint compound was very common. Sanding it is the worst thing you can do. It needs professional removal.

Yes, it can. Depending on the age, you might have to worry about asbestos. Using water and putty knives might be the safest bet, but if you're confident about not having asbestos, it can't hurt to try
Sorry for the ignorant question (I'm new to DIY), but would the battery-powered sander be appropriate/good/bad/overkill? to use to sand drywall between the first and second coats of paint?
oh so rude did he just flipped us off lol. i love this guy i know how to work but he is got soething that makes me watch his videos, he explains it so well !
Does it matter if it’s silicon carbide sandpaper or traditional for the radial sander? I’m sanding an already painted bedroom and repainting it. I know I’m supposed to use 120-150 grit but I don’t know if I’m supposed to get the silicon carbide mesh or just regular sandpaper. Which is better for my job?
If you can sell it for $400 used, buy it for $400 used then sell it for $400. Now it cost you nothing to sand your basement. Business advice brought to you by Wojna.

no dust

You’re awesome! Love your informative videos!
Glad you like them! Cheers!
Love your videos. Subscribed! Thank you for sharing your expertise!!!
I'm thinking that could also double as floor polisher; no? 4:25
Use the strap it helps to counter balance the sander, making it so much easier to use for a large project.
Ha Jeff ,, love you video,, have learned , so mush,,, are you now using craftsman tools? , Thank you diane from maine

Have you tried the Mudslip product?
Jeff-sonians, would you use the same sanding machine tool to sand between coats of paint?
What is the best vacuum to use? I have seen videos of people taping the hose on because dewalt uses a proprietary sized hose?

removal is easier and safer than sanding. it may contain asbestos that old.

Nice, do your have a link for the house adapter ?
great video thankyou
I want to know where you found the small bag of sweeping compound.
Everywhere around here only had 50 pound bags. So, I now basically have a lifetime supply after using it in the one room I needed it for.
LOL. it usually comes in a box next to the bags.
great, informative video as usual. can you recommend a shower panel brand that maybe you worked with in the past? thanks

Whats up jeff. Im a dyer oviously lol. I was wondering what is a good diy airless paint machine? Thanks for the videos helps out alot!
What is your shop vac filter set up? Mud dust destroyed my last one by some dust getting into the moving parts through the filter. Thanks!
use a bag filter for dust collection. Cheers!
I have a question about diy drywall work - why can’t it be reused?
Is it too much work to patch the old fastener holes?

Would it work for removing a non painted popcorn ceiling ? Thks
He makes it look easy I'm no good at drywall but getting better lol BUT I'm bout done for another 10 yr😂
Nice video you need to try the festool sander
no thanks, I will leave expensive tools like that for the guys at this old house.

For as many subscribers as you have, Festool should send you one to try for free.

checking the walls after priming with a trouble light for imperfections.

What grit to use on textured drywall?

Hello, can i sand wooden floor with this tool drywall sand tool ofcoure using stronger sand paper?
How to take care our eyes. If we use mask and eye glass at same time. It doesn’t work out . Due to our mouth vapour. Any solution?
Can you use this to remove popcorn ceiling
What type of primer do you use?
Would that tool remove popcorn ceilings?
Can this be used to remove a popcorn ceiling? If so I'd love to see a video on that. It would be a great help!
Yes, it can. Depending on the age, you might have to worry about asbestos. Using water and putty knives might be the safest bet, but if you're confident about not having asbestos, it can't hurt to try
I wish it had a power cord you want to use a vacuum every time you use this so I don’t see the point of battery power 😅
Thanks. I love sanding furniture but sanding ceilings makes me want to cry. I’ll be buying all of it. I’m skim coating my whole house.
I skimmed the whole house and bought this tool for that. It paid for itself right aways based on what drywallers quoted me
exactly! Cheers!
Sorry for the ignorant question (I'm new to DIY), but would the battery-powered sander be appropriate/good/bad/overkill? to use to sand drywall between the first and second coats of paint?
Seems like it would be okay as long as you keep in mind the appropriate sanding grit to use and are careful
I need help please!
I have an A frame log home with no attic. How can I prevent ice dams please help.
Thanks
install a metal roof or a heating cable on the roof.
oh so rude did he just flipped us off lol. i love this guy i know how to work but he is got soething that makes me watch his videos, he explains it so well !
Does anyone know the name/brand of the step he’s using?
DeWalt or Festool... how do they compare; which is better?
i like the one that save me a thousand dollars.
Does it matter if it’s silicon carbide sandpaper or traditional for the radial sander? I’m sanding an already painted bedroom and repainting it. I know I’m supposed to use 120-150 grit but I don’t know if I’m supposed to get the silicon carbide mesh or just regular sandpaper. Which is better for my job?
By radial I mean pole sander not electric sander
Could you just vacuum the dust from the floor instead of using the red stuff?
Yes but only if your vacuum has the right filters on it. Otherwise it's just going to spread the fine dust faster as it blows right out of it.
No sweeping compound just hepa vacuum it or a drywall dust bag !!
Deep love.
doe sthis pply to skim coating/?
Thats pretty cool. I feel if you don't know how use use it properly one might burn the paper on the drywall. Awsome vid tho.. 👌 👍
proper drywall mud should sand super easy if it was mixed with water and applied properly.
BIG life pro tip -
They sell 30ft shop vac Hoses, once you buy one you never have to lug the thing around the room ever again
